In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

It was Corles' voice, and the girl, her pretty face flushed, was startled.

"Is there something you need?" Fiore suppressed her shame and tried to keep her voice calm.

“Uncle Danick told us to gather at the restaurant; it seemed he had something important to announce.”

"I understand. You go ahead, I'll be there in a bit."

"it is good."

The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away, and Fiore finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But even as she lowered her head, Yoshikage Kira continued to lick tirelessly.

"Seriously, even if you like my hands a lot, there should be a limit, right? Aren't you planning to let me go out?"

Fiore complained softly, but her shy yet proud demeanor didn't seem like she disliked it at all.

Kira Yoshikage released her hand and replied in a serious tone:

"YYSY, so-so."

"Then why are you still licking it?!"

Fiore glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed.

If you don't like me, then don't lick me! Who hugs someone all day long and never lets go?

Not only is she licking now, but she was also using it so vigorously last night, even though her hands were sore from using it, she didn't even consider her feelings!

"Just a meal replacement," Yoshikage Kira said calmly.

To be fair, Fiore's hands are actually very beautiful.

However, compared to a wife, it is naturally far inferior, so it can only be considered a meal replacement.

But the wife is, after all, an artificial human, with no part of her body that is not perfect. It is indeed a bit unfair to compare the wife with Fiore, who is just an ordinary person.

Among ordinary people, Fiore, though skilled, is not particularly outstanding.

Kira Yoshikage was very knowledgeable, so among the skilled women he had licked, Fiore was really only average.

"Hmm~"

The girl angrily turned her head away, fuming and refusing to acknowledge him.

But as soon as she lifted the covers, she frowned, stubbornly refusing to admit defeat, and forced herself to get out of bed despite the pain.

Yoshikage Kira considerately stepped forward to help her up. Fiore, though still angry, didn't refuse; instead, she leaned against him obediently. After all, it was his fault, so he should take responsibility!

Fiore quickly washed up in the bathroom and was then carried by Yoshikage Kira to a wheelchair.

Although she longs to experience the joy of walking on her own two legs, and there's no need to keep it a secret—it wouldn't matter if others found out—her current condition isn't really suitable for walking; it would only exacerbate the pain.

Fiore felt a strange sense of regret, regretting that she hadn't learned healing magic, otherwise she wouldn't be so conflicted.

When Yoshikage Kira pushed his wheelchair to the huge dining room on the second floor, there were only two people inside—Danicky and Koles.

If we include Servants, then it's only Caster.

Lancer isn't here, and Berserker isn't with Koles. Of course, it's also possible they've become spirits.

Besides, neither Gold nor his Saber are here.

As for Caster's Master Roger, he is even more of a heavyweight.

Roger comes from the Brain family, who are skilled in puppetry, and he was raised by puppets from a young age.

Growing up in this environment, Roger naturally took it for granted that children would consider the actions, speech, and tireless labor of dolls that imitated humans as common sense, and viewed the world based on golems rather than humans.

For example, Roshemin doesn't even remember his parents' faces, but he can name all the different shapes of the golems that took care of him.

He preferred to be with the golems rather than socialize with humans.

In fact.

There weren't many living people in the castle to begin with; besides the Masters, there were only androids and puppets.

This is also to prevent the Yggdrasil clan from being implicated in the Holy Grail War. If they lose the Holy Grail War, the Yggdrasil clan's status will naturally decline.

As the tide rises, so does the boat. Even if the Holy Grail War is lost, the only ones who suffer losses are the participants. The Yggdrasil clan can simply surrender to the Clock Tower and shift all the blame onto them.

Although this would still come at a very high cost, at least the Yggdrasil race could continue.

When Fiore arrived, she overheard Danic talking to Caster:

"Your Excellency Danic, when will the materials I requested the other day be delivered?"

In response to Caster's question, Danic smiled and explained:

"We're already on our way, but because we can't go through the clock tower, it's taking longer than expected. I apologize for that."

Caster is looking for the gems to be used as the golem's heart and the parchment to be used as the outer covering. He requests that these materials be obtained in large quantities, and that both be at least 800 level.

If you were inside the clock tower, these things would be easily accessible.

However, the Yggdrasil clan has now broken with the Mage's Association, so they have to find a way on their own. In addition, the quantity required by Caster is simply too large, making it extremely difficult to collect these items even for the Yggdrasil clan, whose bloodline is spread throughout the world.

After receiving Danic's explanation, Caster was still not entirely satisfied, but he had no better solution. He quickly gave a few instructions and turned to leave.

"Uncle Danick."

The girl in the wheelchair asked softly, "May I ask what brings you here?"

In terms of age, Danic could easily be her great-great-grandfather. But as the heir of the Yggdrasil clan, she has to call Danic her uncle, which is quite a darkly humorous situation.

“Fiore,”

Danic smiled. "Do you know Ruler?"

"It's already appeared?" Fiore asked in surprise.

The Holy Grail War is different from previous Holy Grail Wars.

The four Fuyuki Wars that took place in Fuyuki City were all wars in which seven Servants fought each other for the Holy Grail.

This time, however, there are a total of fourteen heroic spirits who can fight against a thousand men.

And it is certain that the Red team must have summoned all the Heroic Spirits yesterday, just like them.

Such a scale is clearly illogical, and this abnormal situation will undoubtedly lead to a distortion of the holy grail of the management system.

In past Holy Grail Wars, the Holy Church would send overseers to ensure that the scale of the war did not escalate and that it remained unknown to ordinary people. It is said that during the Fourth Holy Grail War, Caster and his Master were wanted by the overseers and besieged by all the Servants because of their reckless actions.

However, the overseers of the Holy Church are ultimately external interferences, and the Holy Grail War that took place in Romania was not overseen by any overseers.

Regardless of whether there is an overseer from the Holy Church, the Holy Grail will, through its own logic, summon the Servant who will serve as the judge in this Holy Grail War, namely the Ruler...

Although the Ruler class has not appeared in previous Holy Grail Wars, this time is an exception.

In a large-scale Holy Grail War involving fourteen Heroic Spirits, none of them would trigger the Holy Grail's protection mechanism, making Ruler's summoning inevitable.

Rulers are summoned directly by the Holy Grail, not by their Masters, and thus possess a naturally neutral stance. They do not favor any faction, but act solely to uphold the very concept of the Holy Grail War.

"right."

Danic nodded slightly. "Ruler appeared at Bucharest airport an hour ago. The magician at the airport confirmed that she took a flight from Paris, France."

"Airport? Ride-sharing?"

Koles found it rather baffling. Wasn't Ruler a Heroic Spirit? Why would she fly from France to Romania? Wasn't that a bit too modern?

"Does this mean I should contact her?" Fiore asked.

“That’s right, the Red Team must have also learned about Ruler. In order not to fall behind, we must also make contact with Ruler as soon as possible. There is no one more suitable for this mission than you, who have two Servants.”

Danic made no attempt to conceal his intentions; in fact, it could be described as targeted. However, his reasons were plausible enough: after all, Fiore had two Servants. At least on paper, Fiore held a significant advantage.

Both Archer and Rider are exceptionally powerful Servants.

Among the seven classes, Archer is among the top three, while Rider is one of the better ones among the bottom four. The remaining Assassin and Caster are usually at the bottom, and only Berserker can rival Rider with his Berserker form.

In the Black faction, the seven Servants also conform to the most basic logic.

Lancer and Saber are both well-known Heroic Spirits and are quite powerful.

But Lancer is Danic's spirit, and as the head of the family, he will not easily leave this castle, nor will Lancer.

As for Saber, even Gordes isn't here, so any talk of carrying out a mission is just empty talk.

Caster is responsible for the operation of the castle's magic workshop. With most other Servants possessing the ability to resist magic, Caster's individual strength is undoubtedly the weakest.

The remaining Assassins are not here at all. Even with the Berserker buff, Corles' Berserker is no match for the famous Servants.

Therefore, the only one who can perform this task is Fiore.

"This"

Koles's expression changed slightly, and he instinctively wanted to say a few words in defense of his sister.

"When do we leave?" Fiore asked.

"It's a long way from Bucharest to Tulipas. Ruler should arrive tonight. You just need to find a way to get in touch with her before then."

Danic didn't set the rules too rigidly, as that would only breed resentment.

He was only responsible for assigning tasks, but how to complete them was up to Fiore to decide.

It doesn't matter if the mission fails.

Danic didn't intend for her to go to her death; he just wanted to use this opportunity to test the strength of Fiore's two Servants and the Red Team's Servants.

Although he was wary of Fiore having two Servants, she was still an ally after all.

If we let her die, it would be equivalent to losing two riders for nothing.

Even though Danic believed Lancer was invincible, he wouldn't send his ally to his death so easily.

Sigishwara.

This is a city near Tulipas.

As the stronghold of the Yggdrasil race, directly engaging in battle with the Yggdrasil there would undoubtedly be a significant disadvantage for the Red team.

Therefore, choosing Sighishwara, outside its borders, as a base was undoubtedly the most appropriate choice.

If you were to ask what famous landmarks Sighishwara has to offer, the answer would most likely be the church located on the mountain.

Having rushed from Bucharest to the Lion's Lair in Sighisoara overnight, he now stood at the entrance of the church on the mountaintop.
